Danny L Harle has teamed up with Caroline Polachek on his new single, 'Azimuth', which has just landed on XL Recordings.

“‘Azimuth’’s melody could only have been sung by Caroline, it is designed around her voice, I couldn’t imagine
anyone else singing it or giving a performance like that," says Harle.

 "It also allowed us to play with scale, space and quietness in a way I’ve never done before. For me, “Azimuth” is a trance ballad, despairing but hopeful, best heard in a in club in a sunken cathedral."
